Model GEO-WS
Biaxial Ultrasonic Anemometer
The model GEO-WS is a real low cost alternative to conventional cup/vane/propeller wind sensors in a single unit.
GEO-WS is based on our existing, highly successful, proven ultrasonic technology. Ideal for applications that demand
economic wind sensing, GEO-WS is suitable for land-based and marine environments.
A light weight unit, GEO-WS is of a robust, high strength
construction designed to withstand installation and use with
no fear of the damage commonly experienced with the more
fragile cups, vanes or propellers. Without the need for expensive on-site calibration or maintenance and with a corrosion
free exterior, GEO-WS is a true fit and forget unit.
The flexible design enables you to easily configure GEO-WS
deliver the information you require. By using the software
provided it is possible to select the output rate and choose
the units of measurement that suit your application. Ensuring
accuracy and reliability, GEO-WS automatically transmits an
anemometer status code with each output to in-dicate its
operating status. Available in four options, providing a number of different digital and analogue outputs, GEO-WS can be
supplied with RS232, RS422, RS485, SDI-12 and NMEA digital
outputs as standard.
Maintenance free, quick and easy to install, GEO-WS is designed to be mounted using a standard pole fitting and comes complete with all screw fittings, a mating marine grade
connector and comprehensive user manual.
